2.1. These General Terms and Conditions of Sale apply to contracts for the supply of equipment and/or the provision of services, concluded between ORANGE and a consumer customer (hereinafter the "Customer"), pursuant to article L.010-1 of the Consumer Code. They therefore govern the contractual relations between ORANGE and any natural person who acts for purposes that do not fall within the scope of his or her commercial, industrial, craft or liberal activity.
2.2.

2.3. The subscription request form duly completed and signed by the Customer shall constitute, together with these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the price plan for the Service chosen by the Customer, the Subscription Contract, as of the date of its signature by ORANGE (hereinafter "the Contract").
2.4. These General Terms and Conditions of Sale apply to the ORANGE Service, excluding the Customer's technical equipment.
In the event of a contradiction between these General Terms and Conditions of Sale and the Special Terms and Conditions of the ORANGE Service, the latter shall prevail over the General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

If a Product ordered by the Customer is not available or a Service ordered cannot be provided, for example for one or more of the reasons provided for in these General Terms and Conditions, the Customer will be informed by e-mail, telephone or SMS. The Order, or the part of the Order that cannot be fulfilled, shall be cancelled in accordance with the provisions of these terms and conditions.
3.3. The Products offered, other offers or promotions and mentions of price are valid on the day they are published on the ORANGE website, unless the duration of the promotions is explicitly stated on the page as being different. The prices quoted include VAT and any recycling fees.
4. Information to be provided by the customer
Any order of a Product, Service or Accessory made remotely requires you to have a valid bank card and delivery to be made to your home or to the place indicated on the order, in Luxembourg.
For the first purchase of equipment by any new customer, the goods will be collected from one of the Orange Luxembourg sales outlets.
The Customer must provide all information required to process the order, as well as any other additional information requested by ORANGE.
The Customer is solely responsible for this information and undertakes to inform ORANGE in the event of any change.
The Customer undertakes to inform ORANGE immediately in writing of any change in the information provided when making the subscription, and in particular of any change of address or financial information (bank account, direct debit, credit card number, expiry date, etc.).
5. The contract
5.1. If the Customer purchases a Product, with the exception of a Service, the Customer shall send the Order electronically to ORANGE after having filled in all the required information and after having accepted the specific conditions relating to the Product and the general conditions relating to the E-shop. If ORANGE accepts the Customer's Order, the Customer shall be informed as soon as possible by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address indicated by the Customer, confirming certain information.
5.2. In the case of the purchase of a Service, the Customer will first have to enter certain personal information and complete the first stage of the Order. In the case of a mobile offer, a SIM card shall only be allocated when the order is prepared by ORANGE. After receiving the SIM card, the Customer must log in to his or her customer area to activate his or her SIM card themselves.
Once the Order has been finalised and dispatched, ORANGE shall confirm the Order information to the Customer by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address indicated by the Customer. The Customer must keep this document. This confirmation does not imply acceptance of the Order.
ORANGE shall then consider the Order and accept or reject it. The Customer shall be informed as soon as possible by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address indicated by the Customer, either accepting the Order and confirming certain information, or rejecting the Order or notifying the Customer that certain information is missing.
The activation of the Service is finalised by the customer by activating his or her SIM card via his or her customer area after receiving it.
As applicable, a security deposit may be required in accordance with the terms and conditions of the chosen Service.
The Contract shall be concluded after ORANGE has accepted the Order and after ORANGE has electronically confirmed this acceptance to the Customer.
5.3. By sending the Order to ORANGE, the Customer accepts the general terms and conditions relating to the Product(s) and/or Service(s) ordered, the general terms and conditions of sale of the ORANGE E-shop, and the prices and tariffs mentioned therein (insofar as such acceptance has not yet been expressly indicated by the Customer when placing the Order).
5.4. ORANGE reserves the right to limit or refuse the Order or to subject the Service to additional conditions if :
the Customer has provided incorrect, incomplete and/or false information,
the Customer has not complied with the obligations incumbent upon him or her under another contract concluded with ORANGE,
in the event of evidence or serious indications of non-payment and/or fraud on the part of the Customer or of use of the Service that is contrary to the Contract, to legal or regulatory provisions and/or to public order or morality,
previous Order(s) are unpaid for any reason whatsoever,
the Customer disrupts or threatens the smooth running of the ORANGE network or damages its integrity.
ORANGE further reserves the right to either limit or refuse the Order or to subject the Service to additional conditions for one or more of the reasons stipulated in the general terms and conditions of the Product and/or Service chosen.
5.5. Right of withdrawal
5.5.1. When the Contract is concluded remotely or outside ORANGE's commercial spaces or independent sales outlets approved by ORANGE, the Customer has a period of 14 days to withdraw from the Contract, without having to give reasons for his or her decision and without being liable to pay compensation. This right is only open to individuals who act for exclusively private purposes, i.e. not in the context of their commercial, industrial, craft or liberal activity. The withdrawal period expires after a period of 14 days from the delivery of the goods if the Contract concerns the sale of goods and after a period of 14 days from the conclusion of the Contract if it concerns a service contract or if the Contract concerns digital content not provided on a physical medium.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Customer must inform ORANGE, by means of an unambiguous statement and before the expiry of the withdrawal period, of his or her decision to withdraw from the Contract. To do so, the Customer must go to https://www.orange.lu/return and fill in the withdrawal form, or send his or her decision by post to ORANGE, Service Clients, 8 Rue des Mérovingiens L-8070 Bertrange. The Customer may, but is not obliged to, use the standard withdrawal form attached to the General Conditions. In order to comply with the withdrawal period, it is sufficient for the Customer to send notification of his decision to exercise his or her right of withdrawal before the expiry of this period.
In the case of the purchase of Product(s), ORANGE shall then inform the Customer of the steps to be taken to return the goods. If these steps are not followed, ORANGE reserves the right to refuse the return. Returns to the ORANGE shop are not accepted.
5.5.2. If the Customer withdraws from the Contract, ORANGE shall reimburse all payments already made, including delivery costs (except for any additional costs related to the fact that the Customer has chosen a delivery method other than the less expensive standard method offered by ORANGE). Any installation and activation costs that have been incurred prior to withdrawal for the purpose of providing services to the Customer shall not be refunded. These amounts remain due and cannot be recovered. ORANGE shall refund the Customer using the same payment method as that used by the Customer for the initial transaction, unless the Customer agrees to the use of another payment method and provided that the refund does not incur any costs for the Customer.
The refund shall be made without undue delay and at the latest within 14 calendar days of the date on which ORANGE was informed of the Customer's decision to withdraw from the Contract. If the Contract relates to the sale of a good(s), ORANGE may defer reimbursement until it has recovered the good(s) or until the Customer has demonstrated that he or she has returned the goods, whichever event occurs first. If ORANGE has made goods, equipment or any other accessory available to the Customer under the Contract, the Customer shall contact ORANGE to obtain instructions for their return. The return shall be at ORANGE's expense and no later than 14 calendar days after the Customer has notified ORANGE of their decision to withdraw. This period is respected if the Customer returns the goods before the 14-day period expires. Goods, equipment and accessories must be returned intact and in their original packaging. The Customer shall be liable for any reduction in the value of the goods, equipment and accessories whatsoever resulting from improper use or handling thereof other than that necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and smooth running thereof.
If the Contract is a service contract and the Customer has requested the provision of the services during the withdrawal period, ORANGE shall charge the Customer an amount that is proportional to the services already provided up to the moment the Customer informed ORANGE of his or her decision to exercise his or her right of withdrawal in relation to all the services provided for in the Contract.
If the Contract relates to the delivery of digital content not provided on a physical medium, the Customer acknowledges that he or she loses his or her right of withdrawal if the performance of the Contract has begun with his or her prior consent.
